A Guide to Publications on the Book of Mormon - Selected Annotated Bibliography

Description: A Guide to Publications on the Book of Mormon: A Selected Annotated Bibliography, a high-quality softbound book, includes the same bibliographic and annotated information for 3,200 items selected from the longer list. The selection of this subset was based on identifying those works of most use to students of the scriptures. As noted in a 1996 article introducing the books, "The chief categories that are not included in this selected bibliography are anti-Mormon literature, materials outdated by more recent studies, and less-substantive materials, such as pamphlets and news articles.'" The signed annotations, which vary from 60me 30 to 200 words, average less than 100 words in length and are descriptive, but not evaluative. The citations give the title, author, and publication information . Because the annotations do not indicate which library holds the material, the reader is unable to go from the citation directly to the source from which it might be obtained. How ever, most libraries provide access to national databases that include library holdings and facilitate inter-library loan of the desired material if it is not available locally. Despite necessary brevity, the descriptions give the reader an idea of the focus and contents of the items. Initials at the end of each annotation link its author with the "Key to Annotation Authors" found in the introduction (p. vii). Thirty-six annotators examined the physical items involved in this massive bibliographic endeavor. Notable writers and others volunteered their expertise to this singularly important compilation of writings on the Book of Mormon. Among the voluminous descriptions prepared in a five year endeavor are numerous nuggets.
